History Heartwarming / Xenoblade

* A Mass-Produced Faced Mechon saving Juju from the Telethia at the end of the game, followed by a confirmation that the Mechon are now on the side of the heroes. What sells the moment is the fact that Mass-Produced Faces look just like Xord. A version of the Mechon that destroyed Colony 6 now is protecting it from Telethia. Even better the song that played when Xord captures Juju plays in that scene as well. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

Reason: Xord's pretty dead, but there are a lot of Faced Mechon that look just like him.

* The fact Dunban admits on a few occasions that he is a ShipperOnDeck for Shulk and Fiora, even to Shulk himself. This shows that Dunban is not like the stereotypical overprotective brother, and he wants to see his sister be happy with him. Not to mention, he acts like a big brother to Shulk multiple times throughout the game.

*** Specifically, Reyn says he's worried that Shulk doesn't need him anymore now that he has the Monado and gotten stronger than him. Not five minutes later, he and Sharla pull a BigDamnHeroes moment, backing Shulk up as [[spoiler: he desperately tries to get the Monado working again to protect Fiora from a mechon patrol.]] Evidently, Shulk still needs his friends after all.** Dunban asks Melia how she's doing and she replies that she's fine, but Riki insists to make camp since he's tired and hungry. GilliganCut to the three around a campfire with Melia in a very deep sleep and Riki catching fish. Dunban quickly figures out that Riki knew just how tired Melia was even though she wouldn't admit it.

* For Melia, [[spoiler: Kallian's death and the last thing he says to his sister.]] Also doubles as a TearJerker due to the [[AwesomeMusic beautiful]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqWwU9_gf3s music.]] And immediately afterward, Melia is almost unable to contain herself when she hugs Riki after he said he was the only other one to hear [[spoiler:Kallian]]'s parting words to her.* Many Heart-to-Hearts are full with these (unless you decide to choose [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential the jerkass-ish dialogue options]]).

* During the "Melancholy Tyrea" sidequest, Tyrea insults Melia's bloodline and legitimacy to the throne. In response, Reyn calls Tyrea out and delivers an inspirational speech defending Melia's honor. Contrast that with Reyn and Melia's initial impressions of each other ("This large one is far worse" vs. "I'm not good with her posh accent"). It's touching to see just how much their relationship improved throughout the journey.

* Berryjammy's life does indeed improve when she's migrated to Colony 6 due to the fact that the people there don't mock her name (unlike within Frontier Village in which they did).* The Streetpass Mii Plaza game Puzzle Swap has a puzzle panel for this game. Normally, it depicts Riki and two other Nopon (his children, perhaps?) playing around the Monado. Then you pan to the right to see Shulk and Fiora, gazing up at the Mechonis in the distance together.

* If you revisit the Weapon Development Lab at a very late point in the game while playing as Shulk, you'll get the quest "A Token of Friendship", where Shulk wants to use all his new-found experience and expertise to make the best weapon he can for Reyn. It shows that, even after all they've been through and all the people they've met, Shulk and Reyn's bond has remained extremely strong, and it's heartwarming to see Shulk want to do something nice for Reyn.

Added DiffLines:

* [[spoiler:The Machina of the hidden village welcoming Shulk and co. with open arms, even if they are initially suspicious of these "people of Mechonis".]]

* Restoring Colony 6 and sending more immigrants to live there brings warms feelings seeing all sorts of different species coming together. Not to mention the fact that the colony's theme becomes more and more livlier as you do so.* Shulk and Fiora have unique dialogue when healing eachother in battle. Awww.* Fiora's final skill tree being entirely devoted to buffs she get from Shulk being in the party. It is all unique to her so you cannot link them with other party members. It is both kind of funny and super sweet.

** The Heart to Heart "Just Like Old Times", wherein Fiora pours out her heart regarding worries about being together with Shulk because of her Machina body, because she doesn't want people to look badly at Shulk. Shulk retorts that he doesn't care what other people think, as long as he can be with Fiora. He makes it fairly clear that no matter what, his overriding goal is, always has been, and always will be Fiora.

** Shulk's various things he thinks to the unconscious Fiora, perhaps most sweetly (and the one he truly never expected to be able to say after Colony 9), "Goodnight Fiora, I'll see you in the morning". You can practically feel the smile on his face. Then, a minute later, you get to see the smile on his face while he sits next to her just before her surgery.
